NICK DIAZ 'CLOSE' TO LOSING UFC 158 FIGHT WITH GEORGES ST-PIERRE

Thanks to fans like you, yes. If you're so quick to defend him, how about an avy bet? I've got Georges the professional.

You're picking the -300 favorite? Shocking. I think Pierre wins easily, but Diaz presents unique abilities and will actually push the pace without being scared of getting taken down. Partly because he doesn't fear taking punched to get right back up. I'm not debating the fight, rather saying that you guys should really stop crying about it.

Getting sick about hearing of this s---. Dana White is the one that looks like the clown as well. He knows exactly how Diaz was before re-signing him(Diaz pulled this s--- in SF), then Diaz no shows pressers and whatnot, so the first fight gets canceled. Then Diaz loses a fight, get suspended and still gets a title shot. I like money fights and the fans like them obviously, but White only has himself to blame if this fight gets canceled again.

It's a mismatch of epic proportions, with a guy coming off a loss and a suspension getting a title shot. Then, after he somehow gets granted the title shot without deserving it WHATSOEVER, he has the nerve to again miss tapings, etc.

I could be seeing GSP-Silva but I have to watch this CRAP. So yeah, I'm pissed. And you trying to stick up for when with next to no logical argument doesn't help the situation.

I'm not trying to make am argument for anything. Lol I am just saying you need to quit bitching about it. Because Dana, Diaz and GSP all don't give a s--- about how you "feel". They are both top 3-4 WW's so just watch the damn fight and be happy, you act like Hendricks would do anything in a fight with GSP.

The idea that this is a publicity stunt is marketing genius. The usual Zuffa fare. Outside the box, avant-garde, counter intuitive guerrilla marketing campaigns the world has come to expect. The marketing minds behind the UFC would foolish not to run with it.

I mean, I predict the concept is so damn fool-proof that it changes the face of marketing forever. Archaic ideas, such as the most likely result of hyping the idea that the fight is in danger of being cancelled one month out is that it will kill early sales and pre-buys won't even be a concern. A mere blip to this juggernaut breakthrough.

Think of it, guys, it'll be boffo! Manufacture an aura of uncertainty and build mystique! What better way that to hype that than the can't miss 'Will he or won't he show?' slogan.

Hendricks has at least 100% more of a chance than Diaz.

Dude, way to be a pot. You've been complaining with Redrum about Weidman for weeks.

I'm sorry, what area is Hendricks superior in to GSP? None? How about Diaz? BJJ and probably even in striking? Thought so. Oh Diaz will get taken down? You mean like Hendricks got taken down by Brennaman, Pierce, Koscheck, and Story?

Nick is a terribly overrated fighter, whom if he isn't fed a perfect style matchup, loses and complains. He publicly complains his way out of fighting wrestlers, and is even giving excuses ahead of the fight saying he's "going in there to get his *** kicked."

Good god I couldn't be more turned off by this fight right now.

Trust me, noone cares how "turned off" you are by this fight. Go watch Rousey or something.

He would KO Nick? Based off what? Diaz beating way superior strikers compared to Hendricks or Diaz not being knocked out since 2002?

Nick has mediocre striking defense - he gets clipped every fight - Hendricks will put him out cold if he lands. If not, he's a good wrestler which is the exact style Nick has yet to prove he can win against.
